Öğe ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND ATTITUDES IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. AN EXAMPLE FROM HATAY (TURKEY)(Scibulcom Ltd, 2016) Bozdogan, E.; Sahinler, S.; Korkmaz, E.In this study, we aimed to determine the awareness and attitudes of the Hatay Mustafa Kemal University students towards environmental problems on a local or national scale and the effect of educational status and gender. To this end, a standard questionnaire was prepared as a 5-point Likert scale and distributed to 1310 individuals selected through the stratified sampling method in the 2011-2012 academic year. The obtained data were analysed statistically. From this analysis, it was determined that the environment was not the most important problem for university students on a local or national scale. As a result, the level of awareness was found to be higher than the level of attitude in the university students. However, gender was not found as an effective parameter on environmental attitude.Öğe Environmental awareness and attitudes in university students.

Plants along the streets of urban area are considered as an important alternative in order to remove air pollutants including heavy metals and thus increasing the air quality. This study aims to determine heavy metal concentration in leaves of Melia azedarach that is commonly planted along the streets of Antakya, the central district of Hatay (Turkey). Since it is a deciduous tree, sampling was conducted in July and October 2014, so that the accumulation process during summer and autumn was clearly presented. The results showed that this plant did not accumulate Cd in the leaves; but the other elements were mainly accumulated in July rather than October. When the results were taken into account, M. azedarach can accepted as a biomonitor for traffic-related air pollution including heavy metals.Öğe Heavy metal concentration in leaves of Melia azedarach as a biomonitor of traffic-related air pollution(Scibulcom Ltd., 2016) Bozdogan, E.Traffic-related air pollution causes a problem for human health and urban ecosystem.

The objective of this study, conducted at Karaisali, Adana, Turkey in a Mediterranean climatic zone between April 2008 and December 2009, was to determine the efficacy of TW for irrigating Rosmarinus officinalis L. (rosemary) plants to be used for decorative and medicinal-aromatic purposes. The trial was arranged in a random block design with three replications. Fresh water (FW) or TW were used for irrigation. Data on plant growth were collected each month. The data were statistically analysed using Student's t-test. It was found that plant growth was more rapid for both type of irrigation in 2008 than in 2009 and, in 2009, R. officinalis plants that had been irrigated with TW grew more slowly for some parameters than those irrigated with FW. No negative effects on plant growth were identified during the study. At the end of the study, many of the measurements of growth were high in plants irrigated with TW. Average measurements of growth in November 2009, based on irrigation water type, were: plant height 92.23 cm (FW) or 99.76 cm (TW); plant diameter 53.29 cm (FW) or 107.88 cm (TW); numbers of shoots 58.35 (FW) or 134.23 (TW); length of shoots 62.26 cm (FW) or 71.50 cm (TW); and diameter of shoots 4.15 mm (FW) or 5.18 mm (TW). As a result, TW may be accepted as an alternative source of irrigation water in arid areas planted with rosemary, which would conserve FW sources.
